Report Roadkill BC

The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program has launched Report Roadkill BC - an iNaturalist project that aims to identify wildlife vehicle collisions that may otherwise go unreported.

To learn more and see how you can get involved, visit Report Roadkill BC. 

Images

WCPP is looking for images related to wildlife vehicle collisions for use on this website, social media and in other public awareness publications. If you have an image that shows your vehicle after a collision, the rescue vehicles that came to assist you, the animal that was involved in the collision, or general photos of BC's wildlife and roads, please consider sending it to us at wcpp@bccf.com along with your permission to use. License plates and other identifiers would be removed. All photos donated to WCPP must comply with WildSafeBC's Wildlife Photography Ethics.  

If you have photos that you would like to donate, you can download and fill out our photo release form. Email the signed copy along with the photos you are interested in donating to wcpp@bccf.com.

What to do if you have a collision with wildlife:

• Call the RCMP if there is damage over $1000, any human injuries, or a carcass in the roadway that is too dangerous for you to move to the side and is a road hazard.
• Call the Conservation Officer Service if there is an injured animal to report. In BC, call 1.877.952.7277. In AB, call 1.800 642.3800. In a National Park, contact the Park Wardens.
  
• Report carcasses to the local highways maintenance contractors responsible for that particular stretch of highway. They are contractually obligated to remove the carcass, record its location and other details, and report monthly to the Ministry of Transportation on the number of carcasses they remove. For a list of contractors by area in BC visit gov.bc.ca.

• Reporting the exact location of collisions helps for monitoring injured animals and recovering of dead ones. Quick removal prevents other animals from being attracted to the highway.
